Hello, I'm David Donahue, son of the article writer on this site, George Donahue. I'm 18 years old, and picking Kishaba Juku Shorin Ryu with my father once again in order to further expand my fighting experience. I'm currently wearing a blue belt, there will be a green, brown and black belt test. I've become serious about the style for numerous reasons but most importantly; I'd like to pick up where my father will leave off! It will also be nice to have such hand to hand skills when I'm shipped off after joining the armed services.

Picking up where my father will leave off is my only goal.

I started training Thai Boxing almost five years ago then Brazilian Jiu-jitsu a year after that. Over time, my focus shifted to mostly BJJ since I was competing. Now I can't imagine life without being able to train.

Hi everyone, my real name is John. I am from Derby UK, and got my first belt at Wado Ryu Karate a few years back. I have also pieced together things in Judo and Aikido. I have also just completed my first year at my local university. I have also been baptised in Jan at my local church. I am also going over to visit my wife and step daughter in Africa this July. And finally I have been banned from something like half a dozen ma sites on the web for spamming, insulting the mods, logging in on other peoples accounts and otherwise inappropriate language things. But I swear I have no intention of breaking the rules on this one ok? Thanks.
